Nightlife Guides for Edinburgh

In-depth guides to the best clubs, bars, and nightlife venues in Edinburgh. Based on real event data and updated regularly.

Best Clubs in Edinburgh

Edinburgh's nightlife is concentrated in the Cowgate — a narrow, atmospheric street beneath the Old Town's South Bridge. This single stretch is home to several of Scotland's most respected underground clubs and live music venues, packed into the vaulted arches and basements below the city's medieval streets. The result is an unusually dense nightlife district with a character quite unlike anywhere else in the UK.
